IaaS input field not enabled [vRA 7.3]
I have a custom property that prompts the user for a location (myLocationProperty) based on two other custom properties (myPropertyA and myPropertyB) using a vRO action. Logging in the vRO action indicates that the correct values are being passed and an appropriate value is returned in all cases.
(1) In a blueprint were both of these properties are visible in the IaaS request form the custom property 'myLocationProperty' is editable by the user.
(2) In another blueprint where one of the input properties 'myPropertyA' is visible and the other property 'myPropertyB' is not visible then 'myLocationProperty' is greyed-out and not editable. If I toggle the value in the visible property 'myPropertyA' then 'myLocationProperty' becomes editable.
(3) If I edit the blueprint in #2 and make the invisible property 'myPropertyB' visible then 'myLocationProperty' becomes editable when the IaaS page is first rendered. Meaning that the behavior is not dependent on the blueprint.
Q1) Has anyone else encountered this behavior?
Q2) Is there any solution or workaround?
Thanks in advance.

Custom properties not being assigned to VM's for users, but works fine when I deploy the same blueprint.
I need to pass several properties to a vRO workflow. Some of them are custom properties. I set 2 of them static depending on the blueprint, but one of them I let my users choose between several predefined values to select an SCCM patch window (defined in the property definition, and on the custom form).
I then have a subscription so every deployed VM sends the info to vRO. This is all working great when I test it. However, when any of my users deploy an item the SCCM custom property (xxx.pushGroup) is not sent to vRO. Every other value does get sent. xxx.pushGroup has the SCCM windows set in both the property definition (name is exact match, data type string, required, dropdown, static list), and on the custom forms.
When I look at the properties of the user deployed VM's I do see the xxx.pushGroup property listed on the request input, but not the properties of the deployed VM.
Anyone have any idea why the custom property is set correctly on the VM's when I deploy, but not when my users do? Especially as I can see it in the request inputs for the deployment.

machine prefix picker
I'm almost a complete noob, so a little hand holding is appreciated.
I'm making a custom form'd blueprint, and I'm trying to find the best way to accomplish something.
I want the end user to be able to pick from the (already created) machine prefix list that has already been defined.
Example prefix list:
BG1DEV,BG1DEP,BG1TST,BG1UAT
Then end user just picks, and deploys from blueprint.
Thanks!

Pass endpoint as an input to a vRO action or workflow to access properties
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read this post!
I'm currently writing some code to make an API call to an IPAM solution. We've got this working as part of our IPAM integration using the IPAM plugin. The problem is these values are passed via the IPAM plugin using a composite type input which we can't replicate with an input type. We would like to make a few API calls from a blueprint to get things like current address space consumption and present that to a user.
We have an endpoint registered in vRO that holds specific properties for example, username, password, api url, auth key, and other properties. We would like to add this endpoint to an action or workflow to allow access to these properties via Endpoint.Username, Endpoint.Password, etc.
Has anyone accomplished this? Or have an idea how we might be able to do this with out existing Endpoint in vRO?
Thank you!

Add Additional VMs to a NSX Deployment
Hi Folks:
i am currently working on NSX automation. As you can see below is my blueprint.
basically i build a Logical Switch, an ESG and a Windows Server, and connect my Jump Server to my Logical Switch at my last step.
My Question here is, what do i need to do if i want to enable user to add another Linux VM into the deployment, and connected to the Logical Switch.
As I know that we can only do scale in/scale out for existing deployment.
Any comments would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

IAAS server isn't checking into vRA Appliance
Was tinkering around with the cloud client and started getting a 404 error. After a little poking around, i discovered that my IAAS box hadn't checked into the vRA appliance in 270 days. Checking the IAAS box, found a broken VMware.IaaS.Management.Agent.exe.config file (missing some properties) and the Management Agent woudn't start. Got that fixed and the management agent started. restarted the IAAS server, but still shows it not checked in for 270 days. Is there something else i need to do for the agent to check in properly?

How to set reservation policy with Event Broker
I have a need to dynamically assign the reservation policy after a request has been submitted based on the type of catalog item requested and business group membership of the user. I have created vRO workflows that select the appropriate reservation policy, but I cannot get it to apply the the deployment using the "ReservationPolicyId" property or the hidden "__reservationPolicyID" property. I have attempted these properties through an output of the vRO workflow as a properties object and also using "System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vcac").addUpdatePropertyFromVirtualMachineEntity". Other properties such as setting the VM Folder, setting custom attributes or setting CPU/Mem sizes work properly. It seems to me as though this property is referenced prior to my setting it and therefore is ignored. I am using the EBS topic "Machine provisioning" with the conditions in the image below.
I look forward to your assistance! Thank you.

Change infoblox lifecycle state
I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. Long story short... I have a vRO workflow that runs at VMPSMasterWorkflow32.BuildingMachine. We're trying to integrate infoblox into our builds now, but there's one issue. Infoblox comes in before my custom naming workflow and allocates an IP and registers DNS records to the temporary VM name.
Now this causes a few issues because even if windows registers with DNS, when we retire the server...infoblox only cleans up what it knows about, and that's the temporary name. Then there's still orphaned dns entries that are not automatically cleaned up.
If i could just somehow move when infoblox reserves an IP to after machine provisioned. Is this possible? Or can I move when my name gets created?
**edit** I just realized I mean't to say my custom naming workflow runs at buildingmachine, NOT machineprovisioned.

Can VRA be considered as IPAM?
Hello.
I am trying to deploy an Edge using IP addresses from a given network profile. Instead of manually entering the IP address, I want to find out (programmatically - VRO) the next available IP address for a given Network Profile of VRA. Is there any query/API to do this? The network profile isn't created with an external IPAM server. So, can I query VRA like I do any IPAM server?
Short of iterating through the range and checking its existence in VM/DNS, are there any other method? This is VRA 7.3, BTW. Thanks

How to get an alert when an IP range in a vRA network profile is nearly exhausted
We have vRA7.3 and I need to get an alert when the IP network range gets exhausted in a network profile. Can't seem a way of setting this in the UI as not listed in the reservation alerts, can it be done any other way? Maybe Logininsight with the vra dashboard or API query?
Would ideally prefer something similar to other reservation alerts when it triggers an email when the IP range is (say) 90% used.
Thanks

How to specify number of instances of a machine via REST API
I am using the following vRA Rest API's to provision a blueprint
template = Get ("/catalog-service/api/consumer/entitledCatalogItems/" + catalogID + "/requests/template");
Post ("/catalog-service/api/consumer/entitledCatalogItems/" + entitledCatalogID + "/requests", template.ToString())
It works fine.
Now I am trying to specify the # of instances of a given machine within the template.
By default the number of instances is set to 1, like so:
{
"type": "com.vmware.vcac.catalog.domain.request.CatalogItemProvisioningRequest",
"catalogItemId": "2c79ed7e-30d7-4ff3-8d38-bb790d62b405",
"requestedFor": "xyz",
"businessGroupId": "6538a56e-9986-42c8-82d1-4a55f267654c",
"description": null,
"reasons": null,
"data": {
....
},
"_leaseDays": 1,
"_number_of_instances": 1
}
If I change that to anything other than 1, I get the following error:
{ "errors": [ { "code": 20117, "source": null, "message": "The data specified within the request is invalid.", "systemMessage": "The data specified within the request is invalid.", "moreInfoUrl": null }, { "code": 11003, "source": null, "message": "The value of the '_number_of_instances' field cannot be more than 1.", "systemMessage": "The value of the field with id _number_of_instances cannot be more than 1.", "moreInfoUrl": null } ] }
even though my blueprint allows # of machines to be more than 1
Can the API support this capability?

Random logout / vRealize Automation 7.5
Hi,
we are using vRealize Automation 7.5 - none of the HF applied.
Very often and very randomly users are being logged out of the portal. It doesnt follow the specified timeout setting, it just happens, like the token dies.
Absolutely non critical, but really a pain in the a...
Are any of you also experience this?

One vcenter and Production/Test environments with VRA
hi ,
We have one vcenter which manages production and test ESXI clusters . We are planning to deploy VRA in our environment but want to exclude Production clusters for now.
How we can do that ? Also , can we define two separate tenants and map specific ESXi servers to these tenants although vcenter is same ?
Please advice
